Life Lab
Experiment With Life. That is the essence of Life Lab, a weekly podcast that discusses life lessons in a very conversational way. We give listeners simple ways to make positive change in their lives, and most of our shows are organized around principles to live “the good life.” We end each episode with Change Challenges that come from the “teach a person to fish” philosophy. Each episode also weaves together a patchwork of knowledge and stories from diverse sources and topics. You might learn what rapper 50 Cent has in common with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, how Pink Floyd can improve your time management, and how Charlie Sheen can teach you to be a better negotiator. We use history, current events, and futuristic visions to understand who we are as humans and how we live. The goal of Life Lab is growth, so sit down, plug in, and spark your development.
